The legendary enduro machine in a new edition: Cannondale Jekyll
Guidler is what Cannondale calls the pulley that gives the Jekyll a new look. The high-positioned cog functions as a chain guide on the one hand and as a pivot point for the drive on the other. The aim of this rear triangle, which comes as a four-bar linkage, is to ensure that the suspension responds smoothly under pedal influence, even on rough terrain.
And it's not just the idler pulley that gives the bike a new look. The position of the shock gives the Jekyll a unique look, as the shock is housed in an opening in the down tube. This has the advantage of a low center of gravity and the shock absorber is protected from below by a cover so that it does not end up in a mud bath or in a stone throw.
To ensure that all riders of the Jekyll can expect the same suspension performance, the 165 / 170-millimetre fully comes with kinematics adapted to each frame size. The layout of the carbon fibers and the geometry are also adapted to the different frame sizes. Typical of Cannondale is the rear wheel, which is designed with an asymmetrical offset for more tire clearance and wheel stiffness. The new Jekyll is available in two equipment variants, and a frame set is also available.
